There's a place not far out of town
Where you can find a bed for the night
And when you lay your head on down
The ceiling will start to rise above you

You'll begin to hear a gentle sound
It's coming from the stars
No, it's fireflies, dancing in the moonlight

They keep calling me
Singing that beautiful sound
And I cannot sleep
They sing please set the world
On fire, now
Fire, now

When you think, think you've had enough
Think you've had enough now
You try and leave the room only to find
The door has disappeared

So you break through the window
Feel the pane, and then you start falling
As fireflies dance in the moonlight

They keep calling me
Singing that beautiful sound
And I cannot sleep
They sing please set the world
On fire, now
Fire, now

So far from home
And I don't know
Where I've been
Or where I'm going to
All through the night
Fireflies are burning bright
And burning true
Oh I don't know what is true

Open your heart
Let me out
Let me out, let me out, let me out, let me out
Let me out, let me out, let me out

Fire, now
I'm on fire, now

    Lyric Correction:I'm still not sure if she means "feel the pain" or "feel the pane" lol cause both could apply. Oh well. Any other lyric suggestions are welcome :)
